India, Australia, England And New Zealand Qualify For SF's

India along with Australia, England and New Zealand will feature in the semi-finals of the ongoing World Cup 2019.

While India, Australia and England had already booked their place in the semis, New Zealand were left to wait till the end of Pakistan's last league fixture against Bangladesh on Friday July 05,2019 to confirm their spot in the top-four - NZ better Pakistan in Run Rate and hence enter SF's as both teams finish with 11 points

 

While all the four teams semi-finalists have been confirmed now, India and Australia, still have a match remaining to decide who will top the World Cup 2019 points table

England, having played all of their nine matches, will stay at number three in the points table. Australia are currently leading the points table with 14 points in eight games, followed by India who have 13 points in the same number of matches.

India's semi-final scenarios
If India lose their last league game Vs Sri Lanka in Leeds on Saturday July 06,2019, they'll stay in their current position in the points table (second place) and will face the only team that has managed to beat them in the league stage, England.
However, if Australia fail to beat South Africa at Old Trafford on Saturday and India win their match against Sri Lanka at Headingley on the same day, then they will top the table and play fourth-placed New Zealand in their semi-final match.

Australia's semi-final scenarios
Australia need to win their league match Vs South Africa @ Manchester on Saturday July 06,2019 to make the outcome of India vs Sri Lanka at Headingley irrelevant. But, if South Africa manage to beat
Australia in the last league fixture of the World Cup 2019 and India defeat Sri Lanka, India will exchange places with the defending champions in the points table and Australia will battle it out against arch-rivals England in the semi-final.

The first semi-final will be played in Manchester on Tuesday, which will feature the table toppers and the number four team. The second semi-final is scheduled to be played in Birmingham on Thursday between the second and third-placed teams in the points table.
